Fill out the Senior Citizen registration form
Bring the form to the Enrollment Center, located in College Center on the top floor. Click here for a campus map. We can answer questions or help you fill it out. We will have extra copies of the form if you need it.

Take a course for credit

If there is space available in any course, seniors can enroll and pay only $20 per credit in administration fees plus student fees, minus the Student Life fee. Senior registrations are taken starting the second day of each semester. See current fees here.

Senior Citizens are also responsible for any additional materials or personal property charges for credit courses or audit courses.

Audit a course

If a senior wants to "audit" a course – which means attending but not taking tests, being graded or earning college credit – there is no administration fee. Auditing students will be charged student fees, minus the Student Life fee.

Students auditing a class must still attend and participate as required by the instructor. See current fees here.

Senior Citizens are also responsible for any additional materials or personal property charges for credit courses or audit courses.

"I'm returning to Inver Hills at 65 because I need to finish what I set out to do when I first came to the college 46 years ago. When I retired two years ago, I dove into all sorts of volunteer work. While that has been rewarding, earning that degree has always been in the back of my mind. And it's more than the degree. I'm looking forward to gaining knowledge in subject areas that might be unfamiliar to me. I'm approaching it as an adventure. I'm excited about visiting new areas of study and opening my mind to different ways of viewing the world."

- Doug Hanneman, Inver Hills 2020 Outstanding Alumnus of the Year
